Nine people have been injured after a suspected corrosive substance was thrown at a woman and two young children in south London.
The Metropolitan police were called to Lessar Avenue, Clapham at about 7.25pm on Wednesday, when the woman and two children were injured by a suspected corrosive substance.
A further six people – three members of the public and three police officers – were injured after coming to their aid. Five of those involved were taken to hospital.
Det Supt Alexander Castle said the officers’ injuries were minor, adding: “While tests are ongoing to determine what the substance is, at this stage we believe it to be a corrosive substance.
“A man was seen fleeing the scene. We are drawing on resources from across the Met to apprehend this individual and work is ongoing to determine what has led to this awful incident.”
No arrest has been made and police said they would give an update on the conditions of those injured as soon as possible.
A local politician said the woman and children were in a car when they were assaulted.
Marina Ahmad, Labour’s London Assembly member for Lambeth and Southwark, posted on X: “There has been a traffic collision with a man assaulting occupants in a car and throwing acid. Victims include children.”
Firefighters used specialist equipment to detect what is believed to be the corrosive substance used in the initial attack, a London fire brigade spokesperson said.
They added: “Firefighters were called to a chemical incident on Lessar Avenue in Clapham this evening.
